Mattress Magnetic field problem

Hi all,

I read at web that metal coils in mattresses may cause magnetic field generation. I cut my mattress today from the bottom side and attached a copper wire to one of the coils and attached the other end to the ground.. Would you think that would be enough for grounding or should I repeat this at one or more places? I think the metal coils inside are connected.

Thanks.

Hi Yildiz:
If the metal coils are all connected electrically your idea should work. But if the coils have been sprayed with anything (like shellac to prevent corrosion) then there would be no electrical connection between them. But again with lots of use (of the mattress) the insulating shellac would probably wear out at the contact points between the coils.... so it might work on an older mattress.
Covering the entire mattress with a copper or aluminum screen and grounding the latter would take care of the electric field radiating from the top of the coils but not the magnetic fields - more exotic and expensive materials are needed for that.
Good luck.
Ray

Re: Mattress Magnetic field problem

In reading about the coils from Slim's website and other sources, these
coils can generate certain types of energy depending on the length and
size and twist. I have much to learn about them and how to neutralize
them or make them positive. I just bought an expensive coiled bed two
years ago and its going to take some convincing with my wife to buy
another one without coils.
Here is a beautiful one without off-gasing toxic foam, etc.

Re: Mattress Magnetic field problem

In reply to this post by rkosan

Thank you Ray,

I think the coils I have are coated. I did not see them completely. I just
opened a small opening at the side of the bad and attached the copper wire
without seeing the coils.I felt the coating on the coil when I touched it.

Strangely!!! I think it worked. I don't know if this is a psychological
effect:) I am feeling more comfortable on my bed now. I think I will get one
without coils at first instance.
Thanks.
